So you make a litle money
off of ^D sombody elses sweat
so some ^C people starve a little
while ^D you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
while you got fat
Em . DD C
So you grind and grind
and you ^D push and shove
and ^C claim that those most worthy
will ^D get what they diserve
Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
what they diserve...

It can't be true

It ^D can't ^D be ^C true
Be ^D cause ^D I've ^Em seen too many hungry ^D faces
I've ^Em seen too many with the ^D likes of you
C . . . C . DD C . . . C .DD Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .

Em . D D C
For you everything has its price
you give ^D nothing away for free
if ^C silence were truly golden
I ^D guess no one could sleep
Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
no one could sleep

Em . D D C
You have money at your fingertips
people at your ^D beck and call
and you're ^C fool enough to think for a price
D Em . . . Em . DD Em . . .
You can have the whole wide world

Em . D D C
For all our sakes
. .
and ^D all ^D our ^C lives
. .
^D We ^D must ^Em hope the words that
^D come from your lips
we must ^Em hope those words are ^D lies
. .
for ^D all ^D our ^C sakes
. .
and ^D all ^D our ^C lives
. .
^D we ^D must ^Em hope the dreams,
soulless ^D visiones that you have
^Em are never rea ^D lized
^C So you've got a big house
you ^D drive a fancy car
So ^Em what if your pockets are full
if ^D you have an empty heart
^C You snap your fingers
and ^D all the waters part
So ^Em what if the people bow down
if they ^D show you no regard
^C Your left hand
^D always watshes your right
So ^Em what if you trust in God
if ^D you can't sleep at night
^C You think you've made it
You think you've ^D got what everyone wants
So ^Em what if you're a big fat man
D (let ring)
with an empty little heart
. .
^D Who ^D has ^C made a litle money
off of ^D somebody else's sweat
^C Who watched the people starve
^D while you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD
while you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD
you got fat
Em . . . Em . DD Em (let ring)
you got fat!!!
